Suspect source coil .

So ,this afternoon I got around to looking at the stator from my DT1B.


As you can see there's damage to it. The bike ran and I rode it. However, I wouldn't trust it after encountering wet roads or a bucket of water.

So I tested two source coils from some RT1B spares. They give out 2 ohms. Nothing over the windings. Thats telling me that nothing is open circuit and the windings are still insulated.


Now then, I put the probe on the wire going to the capacitor from the DT1B s source coil and into the gouge tha goes a winding deep or more. I got a reading of 1 to 0 ohms.




I think that's a potential problem for a breakdown.

Do you agree or disagree agree?

I suspect the windings might open circuit when it gets hot as well.

When I tested the others the same way I didn't get any readings at all.

By Capacitor, I think you were trying to say the condenser? Yes, I agree. You can see some visual damage and you are not getting consistent readings when compared to your known good coils. Rex Speed Shop or DEET could rewind them and add a protective epoxy coating to the copper windings.
